(Separate posts, bc I am paranoid xD)

Paruru looked out over the audience as she took the mic. She almost appeared bored. "Right, so there isn't a lot I need to say. I know some people expect a teary 'I'm so sad I fell so many places/I didn't get to XYZ place! Pity me' speech. Those people will go empty-handed, because that is not something I intend to do. I don't need pity. I said this on social media already, but evidently, some people do not keep up with that. I don't need pity from someone else. I don't need anything from someone else, because 'someone else' does not define me. I know who I am. I know my worth. Anyone else's opinion is just that. An opinion. And as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter. So, to anyone who wants to say that 'you were so close!', don't. It may satisfy you, but I honestly couldn't care less. Your validation means nothing to me, and if others' validation is what you desperately have to get, that is your problem."
